Last ditch effort to find me a companion! I have a Whitney day hike permit for September 25th, and a campground booked at the Portal for the 24th. If anyone wants to join me for the hike and split costs for the campground message me. I'm also camping at lower lee vining campground the night of the 23rd, and doing an acclimatization hike on Mt. Dana the morning of the 24th. If you want to join for that as well that would be dope.
And if you're from the Bay and want to carpool for the whole trip that's even better.
But if you just want to do Whitney that's totally cool.
Will release the extra permit to the public if I can't find anyone.

Hi everyone,

I managed to get a last minute permit for 9th October, and then managed to book camp for 7th to 10th at Whitney Portal. I'd be doing summit alone but my spouse and/or a friend may come stay in basecamp. Figured to check if there are others that are doing Mt. Whitney on 9th that would perhaps like to team up for the summit?

I've done wilderness camping before and have been at about 11,978' (3651m) of elevation going through Glen Pass in Rae Lakes Loop. Generally pretty decent shape and might have a bit faster pace but I can adjust.

Cheers,
Damien
